re: And, just a little bit more...

From Fox News:

Adnan Khalifa, an Iraqi who lives near the sealed-off area, told a Danish TV2 reporter in Basra that he helped bury the mortar shells three years ago. "We also dumped some of them in the river," he said.

Some Iraqis have said there are several caches of mortar shells in the area, including a stockpile dumped in the Tigris River that could contain as many as 400 shells, army officials in Denmark said.


Note that the timelines in all these anecdotes directly contradict a current meme the Left is pushing that Iraq had absolutely no WMD after about 1991.

In the context of the river dumping story, this old story also becomes interesting. To be sure, maybe it was just pesticides. But we are collecting an awful lot of dots, and it's getting hard to avoid connecting them.

Doing research for this, I am amazed at how many stories like this are neither proved or disproved officially, but just drop off the map. I'm almost wondering if the Danish test results, positive or negative, will show up anywhere.
